Interesting.
I think I have to get some eyes on an Oasis 3 in person.
I briefly had a new Libra and it didn’t do much for me. The buttons weren’t placed great for me and the recessed screen was a bit “meh” also... Admittedly I didn’t get a ton of time with it. I quickly realized I didn’t “love it” and returned it.
I really enjoyed my Forma for a bit but the screen thing was driving me insane, particularly with all my night reading. Also, related to my QC comment above, the bottom page turn button was a touch sticky vs one on top. Just ridiculous stuff that shouldn’t happen on the premium model and price point.
I am curious about that “ridge” on the back of the Oasis 3. I wonder if that makes it great to hold. My one consistent complaint with Libra & Forma is that they are so thin that I find them painful to comfortably hold without a PopSocket on the back (not a case person). I honestly wish the wedge sides were even thicker and more geared toward hand/grip ergonomics.
(One thing I keep loving on the Nook GLP 2019 is how comfortable it is to hold - at store only is my experience though)
